Re: Bath City v Dartford Sat 10 Feb 2024

Chin's move to Bath is a strange one considering the travelling distance involved, for which we've lost players for that very same reason. I'm not expecting Romain to set the place alight either if he can't get into the Horsham side. Lady Luck will keep us up this season, only because Taunton are in...

Re: Another match at Princes Park on February 7

Just don't be surprised if there's a vacancy for new tenants next season.

Re: Another match at Princes Park on February 7

Thought we had a good drainage system. There again I thought we had a good team once. Another backward step with a game cancelled at short notice. Atleast Truro City can't be blamed for this one. And they tried to blame Plymouth Parkway. I wonder if City Lionesses will blame their landlords. There w...

Re: KSC Quarter Final Dartford v Sevenoaks Town Tue 30 Jan 2024

Full credit to Dowson. He may have got a few things wrong but atleast he was right about one thing. Blocky did come back. Good call Dowse.

Re: Truro City v Dartford Tue 16 Jan 2024

Well there won't be a revolving door. TB hasn't got the contacts like King and Dowse have. So as far as shipping people out goes, who are we going to bring in? Unless his mate John Still can do him a favour in return for the Noor Hussain bargain sale of the season. A lot of our players used to come ...

Re: Alan Dowson sacked

Alan Dowson tried his best, the players tried their best, Flanagan & Coyle tried their best, Steve King tried his best and the board tried their best. Everyone's accountable. Everyone's under pressure in the modern game. If not then they're in the wrong job.That's the nature of the beast. Footba...

Re: Alan Dowson sacked

For me, in Martin Tyler's last interview not only did he hang himself but took Dowse with him. To suggest Maidstone's players were disciplined and the substitutions were clever says more about our coaching staff than theirs. To listen to him you'd think the pair of them had only been appointed a few...

Re: Maidstone v Dartford Tue 9 Jan 2024

Dinosaurs no longer rule the Earth but they're still out there in various capacities. Apathy is a word being used more and more now. There's no leadership. Either no one knows what to do or the will to step up or step aside isn't there. Or maybe it's a bit of both. We're in the bottom half of the ta...

Re: Maidstone v Dartford Tue 9 Jan 2024

So Mr. Tyler praises Maidstone's players for their discipline. And who's responsible for instilling that other than the coaching staff? Also Maidstone made some clever substitutions according to him. So basically their players are more disciplined than ours and our management team's not in the same ...

This time last year we were in with a shout of catching Ebbsfleet.
We are now 25 points behind the current leaders.

Re: Maidstone v Dartford Tue 9 Jan 2024

I said last year we've got a great spine in Alexander, Chin, Diarra and Sandford. But 3 of them are not our players. Now Sandford has also gone. Proper clubs get the nucleous of their sides together pre-season. Some even go to the other end of the country as part of a bonding session. We've had play...

Re: Weston-super-Mare v Dartford Sat 6 Jan 2024

This is beyond a joke now. There are blokes out there who have to pay to play Sunday mornings, while nursing massive hangovers, who can defend better from a winning position in the dying seconds of a game.
MOTM all those who travelled down to watch and got mugged off for the umteenth time.

Re: Weston-super-Mare v Dartford Sat 6 Jan 2024

Absolutely agree with Mark Sweet on this one. Staying up is most certainly not a foregone conclusion. I've probably put the mockers on it too by dropping Havant & Waterlooville in favour of AFC Totton from the Fantasy Non-League competition the other day. Then they go and win 4-2 away to blimmin...

Re: Dartford v Welling Utd Sat 30 Dec 2023

I've just listened to the radio Kent interview. It's quite depressing really and poses more questions than answers about where the club is heading. £700 won't get you much at this level these days. Anything less and you can forget it. Dowson might as well stay on. He appears to accept the club's phi...

Re: Dartford v Welling Utd Sat 30 Dec 2023

Under Burman we had a ten year plan and did it in five.
Where did it all go wrong?
